The jteriod of <7anfinement is also greatly shortened, die mother strengthened and built up, and an abundant secretion of nourishment for the child promoted. Artificial Voice. The operation of removing the en tire larynx from a living man has beer, successfully performed in a number of eases, and in several of these an artificial larynx, with reeds vibrating somewhat like the reed of a clarionet, has been constructed. In one case it was made of hard rubber, and the man could speak in a loud, clear and distinct manner. He could not relax or increase the tension of the vibrating reed, and hence his voice was monotonous in tone, but. being an ingenious mechanic, he made several different sets of vibrating reeds of different pitch, and as he could slide these in and out of box at pleasure, he could thus suddenly change his voice from the deepest bass to the highest soprano to the great astonishment of his hearers.

Farmer Sol Miller, near Hagerstown, went out in his field and discovered a number of hogs and sheep that had been suustruek and killed. Burglars at South Bend havela-entak-ing advantage of the warm nights and open windows to make profitable raids on unguarded residences. A number of the recent large fires at Laporte have been traced to incendiaries, and it is believed that an effort is being made to burn the city. Mus. David Goss, of Plano, Morgan county, hung herself, by tying two towels together and suspending herself from the easing above the door of her house. Ex-Auditor James C.

Reports from 758 Township Assessors of the States as to the condition of the wheat crop have been received by State Statestielan Thompson. The reports cover 89 of the 92 counties of the State. They bear out the predictions made by the department a week ago. The exact yield, predicated on the basis of the reports at hand, is 7.77 bushels to the acre. The figures indicate a total yield of about 20,000,000 bushels, or about two-fifths of a crop. Nelson Wheeler,one of Fort Wayne's pioneers, dropped dead while sprinkling his lawn.

IN PREFERENCE TC WEALTH. | Few People Actually So Co» etituted m to Be MatteHed with It Alone. As a matter of fact the chief impression produced by great wealth, even in America, is simply curiosity, not admiration, hardly even envy. There are many things that jieople really value more than wealth at any time jierhaps, thinks Harper’s Bazar, valuing wealth only as a means for these things. In youth people prize I amusement, pleasure, love; and wealth j is thrown away recklessly for the sake of such ends. After the maturer tastes i are develojied, people have no objec- ' tion to wealth for the sake of other ' aims which it may promote, but it is i not a substitute for those aims. The artist loves art, the man of science I loves science, the student loves study, I the inventor loves invention, the do- ■ mestic man loves home. Even the • man of action loves action mainly as a I thing attractive ij; itself. He would : readily accept wealth as a means of achieving his other purposes, but he | would not sell those purposes for ! wealth. The proof of this is that he does not, indeed he often impoverishes . himself for his own pursuits. “Beyond j a very moderate account.” wrote Coleridge, “I regard money as a real evil.” ! The man of other pursuits knows that | jne cannot possibly be very rich and •arry on those other pursuits also, so ' engrossing is the mere care of property, and so difficult and absorbing is the wise use of it. Many a prominent art- i ist or author has been sitn; ly ruined ' for the purposes for which he was treated by becoming heir to a large es- j late: not that it demoralized him otherwise, but it left him no time for his i natural work. Volumes have been , written on the suppression of genius ' through poverty, but very little has yet j been said on the wrecking of genius through wealth. New Pavement* A new pavement is being brought out. Its foundation is steel plates laid in sand. These plates are three feet i long by a quarter inch thick, ami strong enough to stand a tensile strain j of 50,000 pounds to the inch. They are Hanged on the sides and laid from curb to curb across the street. The Hanged are pinned together, and the plate perforated for drainage. The pine blocks are interchangeable, and grooved to straddle the plate rib joint. Repairs and openings can be replaced without damage to the pavement, and old and worn blacks can be exchanged for new. All swelling is provided for, and it can be laid rapidly, presenting, when complete, a smooth, unbroken appearance. It will, it is alleged, last Hi years, when the surface can then be recovered without disturbing the foundation. Sections of this pavement will be laid in Chicago and St. Louis, and it has already been tested in other I calities. A Stoker’s Saviour. The Austrian engineer Werner has patented an invention which bids fair to turn the labor of a stoker, or steamboat fireman, from the hardest, ugliest, and most unhealthy sort of toil into mere child’s play occupation. His plan consists in pulverizing bituminous coal and feeding it to the furnaces by means of a pear-shaped “distributor,” self-acting under ordinary circumstance, but withal amenable to the control of the operator. Experiments have provided that coal dust, poured into a strong blaze, will burn almost without a residuum. There will be no raking of ashes and clinkers, next to no smoke, ami the apparatus can be worked without approaching the hades it the furnace door. From the Romans. “Put your right foot foremost,“ is * piece of advice that has been offered to most folk, young and old, in the course of their lives. 11 is generally equivalent to saying. “Now's your ehance; do your very best and shown what you are capable of.” I.ike a great many common phrases this expression ’ias an old origin. In the days of ancient Rome, when people were usually the slaves of some superstition or other, it was thought to be unlucky to cross the threshold of a house with tiie left foot first. Consequently a boy was placed at the door of the mansion to remind visitors that they were to to put their right foot foremost. The use of the phrase in the wider sense soon became obvious. I'm All t'nstrung. Is the remark of many a nervous individual. He or she will soon cease to talk that way after beginning and persisting in a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Nothing like it to renew strength and appetite and good digestion.

To Prohibit Drutikeiiuess* New Zealand has invented a unique method for the prevention of intemj eranee. It proposes to pass a law to the effect that any person convicted of being an habitual drunkard shall be photographed at his own expense and a copy be supplied to every saloon keeper in the district. The dealer supplying liquor to such person is to be fined. , Business Men in a Hurry eat in restaurants and often food insufficiently cooked.

Eloquence, The proprietor of a large building in one of the Eastern cities, which contains several “fiats” or living apartments on the upper floors, says that he never succeeded in renting these apartments readily until he employed a very eloquent Irish woman as janitress or agent for the care and letting of them. Several times the graceful “blarney” of this excellent woman has secured a customer where a less gifted agent would have failed. ••Kinvayniences. is it?” says she to applicants for the rooms. '‘Sure it’s hot an’ could wather at all hours of the day and noight agrayable to yer tashte, an' set toobs that wud make a washerwoman o’ the Quane of England by prifference!” “Are the rooms comfortably warmed?" asks an inquirer. “Are they wohrnied!" with a surprised air. “Sure, wid a sloight turn o’ yer wrisht ye have anny degray o’ timperature known to the therimether!” “But the staircase; is that easy to go up?” “Xow, thin," says the eloquent agent, as if she were reaching the climax of all the wonderful advantages of the building, “the staircase is that aisy that whin ye’re goin’ opp, ye would well belave that ye’re coinin’ down!” The intending tenant usually capitulates at this point. London's Water Supply. The average daily water supply of London is 190,123,599 gallons. The water is obtained from the Thames, the Lee, from ponds at Hamstead and Highgate and from springs and wells. The population of I ondon is 5,401,800. The daily consumption per head is, therefore, 34.08 gallons for all purposes. A telegram from New York to Australia has to go nearly 20,00” miles 15.000 of which are by submarine cable, ami it is handled by fifteen operators. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken internally.
